Scientific paper

In this paper, relative brightness profiles along plasma tail axis and several sections perpendicular to the axis for Comet Halley on January 4, 1986 are analyzed with the aid of Hayarchuk's (1969) theoretical diffusion model and other relevant data. By fitting observed brightness profiles with theoretical profiles, some of physical parameters for the plasma tail are estimated, such as the mean lifetime of CO(+) ions, longitudinal (tail-axis) and transverse diffusion coefficients, possible lower, and upper limits of magnetic field intensity in the direction of the tail axis.
